Nicky Didicher & Students: Collaborative Learning and WebCT Presentation Pages
Several students and the instructor of English 322 Eighteenth-Century British Novels from SFU, Spring 2006, will discuss their experiences with a collaborative learning environment in which students chose the novels for the syllabus, worked in groups to create course content, and published their work using the presentation tool in WebCT. The majority of students were English majors with little experience in web design or html, and many were nervous of the computer component in the course.
After a demonstration of the resulting WebCT student pages and a short panel discussion, we will open the session to a discussion of benefits and dangers inherent in group projects, and the advantages and disadvantages of blended learning in Arts classes. This session will be of interest to a general audience, but especially to teachers and students in Arts disciplines.
